The event was held at Harumi Triton Square from May 20 (Fri) to 22 (Sun).

I went to the Harukko Festival.

This festival counts the tenth festival

The contents include fair stalls, character shows and stage by residents.

There are plenty of recycling markets and workshops.

At the Umaimon booth, Noto grilled oysters, North Sea Sazae boiled, and

Hiroshima-yaki, Chinese dim sum, etc.

Immediately after 11:00, there is a line in Okinawa Omsoba.

Yamada Ranch meat skewers (extra size!) While eating

I saw a father drinking a drink.

In the corner of fair, you can see the children holding 100 yen.

Everyone's eyes are shining brightly.

I always keep my child's heart in every age.

On the special stage, it will be a sweet precure show on this day.

I saw a lot of girls dressed cutely.

It was a windy day.

It was a very enjoyable event because there were many events for the family.

From the end of February to the beginning of March this year, the Tsukishima Library Collection Exhibition was held at the Tsukishima Library, displaying materials from cultural people who are related to Tsukuda and Tsukishima. Some of them are still on display in the library, so if you missed this exhibition, please come and visit us.

 Koji Ogawa, who is famous for landscape sketching in Tokyo, including Ginza (born in Minato, boarding house in Nagaya in Tsukishima when he was a student) colored paper.

(Left) Colored paper of Mr. Kimihiko Tsukuda, who is particularly familiar to the Showa generation (last year, a long sleep at Kiboricho Hospital)

(Right) Children's library bag in Chuo-ku is with illustrations by Tsukuda (I want an adult!)

 (Left) Shinbo Minami wrote in his book, "Everyone in the Town," that he lived in Tsukishima after marriage and then moved to Harumi.

(Right) Shohachi Kimura was born in Nihonbashi. He seems to have been staying at the Kaikaikan. 

(Left) Shortly after I came to Tsukuda, I borrowed "Tsukishima Monogatari again" by Inuhiko Yomota (resident in Nagaya in Tsukishima from '88-'94) at the Tsukishima Library and was absorbed in reading. By the way, Shigeru Mizuki, the creator of the mouse man drawn on this colored paper, once lived in Tsukishima (currently Kachidoki 5-chome).

(Right) Ira Ishida's `` 4TEEN '', who has lived in Tsukishima, depicts 14-year-old boys living in Tsukishima (When I read this work at Tsukishima Library, It was just the year when the age of the boys who appeared ...)

I also borrowed and read Tsukudajima Futari Shobo by Tatsuro Dekune, a used bookstore in Tsukishima, Bungado, and worked at the Tsukishima Library.

It seems that this mini-exhibition can be seen for a while even in June. Please contact the Tsukishima Library (03-3532-4391) for the exact exhibition period. Nevertheless, thanks to the Tsukishima Library, I have read various books related to Tsukuda and Tsukishima. Thank you very much for your continued support!

[Harumi] It is a region that is being developed again.

This image shows Harumi from the Toyomi area, but you can clearly see the skyscrapers of [Harumi Triton Square]. In addition to this, the number of high-rise apartments is increasing.

The wide road that extends to Harumi Wharf seems to represent the longing for the sea by street trees. Behind this is once the “International Trade Fair Venue”, which was attracting attention from all over the country as an experimental space that represents the cutting edge of the times.

In the first place, in the Harumi area, pre-war “International Exposition” (World Exposition) was planned. It seems that a specific plan has been completed and some tickets have been sold. In addition, there was a plan to construct a new government building at the Tokyo City Hall (at that time).

The Expo, which was scheduled for 1940 (Showa 15), was canceled as the war approached.

Standing at [Harumi Sanchome Intersection], which seems to have been around the main gate of the Expo venue, imagine the time. Perhaps a central pavilion would have been to be built around the road leading to [Harumi Ohashi]. If the exposition was being held, how did this town develop?

The Expo ended in a dream, but at that time [Kachidokibashi], which was planned as a travel route, was completed and is popular as one of the famous scenery of Chuo-ku. I just hope that Chuo-ku will continue to be a land that talks about the dreams of the times.

I visited the museum in a corner of River City in the rain afternoon.

This museum is located in River City 21, where Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries (IHI) founded, "Introducing the history and culture of Ishikawajima and Tsukuda Island, which have a deep connection with the shipyard from the founding to the present."

Among the exhibited materials, there was "Yoriba Standing" (a copy of Jingu Bunko collection). As you know, it is a "Proposal for the Establishment of a People Ashoba" created by Heizo Hasegawa. Heizo Hasegawa is the most popular character of modern Japanese as a real Edo period person in Shotaro Ikenami's "Kihei Criminal Book", but according to the material, he was the first bow head in 1787 (1787), when he inherited the 1500 stone family. It is the birth of "Onihei". Recognizing the necessity of a place for rehabilitation of light criminals in the process of performing their duties, Sadanobu Matsudaira, who submitted the above proposal in 1790 and started reforming Kansei, was the centerpiece of the reform. It became. Adoption of Proposals-Immediate Execution! Reclaimed the shallows between Ishikawajima and Tsukuda Island and built a focal point for people. In 1792, he was also involved in "Hitoshoroshoba magistrate". The venue was 16,030 tsubo, where there were a coal mining plant, a paper making hut, a blacksmith hut, etc., where the detainees returned to society with skills in their hands. According to other materials, the concept of "rehabilitation of criminals" itself was very new at the time even from an international perspective. Heizo died at the age of 50 (overwork death?) He served as secretary until 1795, just before. Only debt remained after death, and the mansion that was sold was later home to Toyama's Kin, a town magistrate! ! ! Hey. By the way, the ruins of Heizo's mansion, which was 1238 tsubo, seem to have a monument next to Kikukawa Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line.

The history of Ishikawajima is derived from the fact that Hachizaemon Ishikawa, a shogunate shipman, worshiped an uninhabited island at the mouth of the Sumida River in 1626 (1626) and made it a site. In the old days, it was called Armor Island, Morishima, etc., but it was later called Ishikawajima. Since it was relocated in 1792, the entire Ishikawajima became a site for people's accession. (IHI materials)

Now, a monument imitating the Ishikawajima Lighthouse created by Jungen Shimizu, a magistrate in 1866, stands at the trace, and there is an explanatory board indicating the trace of a human footing place nearby.

Ishikawajima Museum: 1-11-8, Tsukuda, Chuo-ku, Pier West Square 1F

　　　Opening day: Wednesday / Saturday 10:00-12:00, 13:00^17:00

　　　TEL: 5548-2571

Exit No. 1 of Tsukishima Station and walk a little towards the Harumi Canal, you will find a monument to Kaikaikan beside dike on the Harumi Canal.

According to the explanatory version, after Shin-Tsukuda Island was built in 1896 (Meiji 29), a [Saikaikan] was built around the end of the Meiji era to the Taisho era, and many literary inkers loved it as a scenic spot. Famous cultural figures such as Toson Shimazaki, Kaoru Osanai, and Takehisa Yumeji seem to have visited and engaged in creative activities.

Under the cherry blossoms of River City, purple orchiran (silane) quietly tells the end of spring.

Under the cherry blossoms in summer, silane is now the peak of flowers.
It is sometimes seen at the eaves of Tsukuda and Tsukishima, but this is a colony and looks like a red-purple carpet.
Please go out for the cherry blossom viewing in spring, which will be over soon.
You can also see the sky tree through the flowers.　（ｗｗ）
